August 10: Added link for Blackbird Airpark's YF-12 40th Anniversary memorabilia. Not only do the proceeds go directly to the museum, but you don't have to pay some of the stupid prices that these things tend to go for on Ebay.

October 3: 5 new photos of 967 with the last USAF crews, courtesy of Tony Landis. New crew photo of 935, also courtesy of Tony. YF-12 photo and "war stories" courtesy of Ray Scalise. Updated info on 968.

February 29: Updated the links page. Finally gave up on the red-on-black color scheme for all pages except the main banner page, due to numerous complaints from visitors who said they were going blind because of it.

February 25: Updated links and Books/Videos pages with links to "Blackbird Rising," the newest book on the Blackbird by Donn Byrnes and Kenneth Hurley.

September 29: Returned from 5-day weekend with 19 rolls of film and 5 hours of video tape. Will post new images of 955, 956, 968, 980, and 981 just as soon as possible. Added more info on 968, and updated the links page. If you can go to Edwards on October 9th or 10th, go.

September 26: Updated the Events page - the blackbird WILL BE FLYING at the Edwards Open House.

July 9: Linked the photo on the main page to a copy of the same photo without the URL plastered across the center. Muchos gracias to Lockheed Martin photographer Eric Schulzinger, who took that amazing photo.

November 2: Added Tom Mahood to the Links page (where I had forgotten to add him, even though he was on the Credits page - sorry, Tom). Also switched format of the What's New page to reverse chronological order, making it easier to see what's new...

Severely incomplete links page (expect to see almost daily additions).
